A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

OK; Iran is playing a clean “attack military targets“ game and the US responds with terrorist tactics.
Who’s supposed to be the good guy here?
They killed a hundred school kids with their opening volley by directly targeting a school. It's been US terror tactics the whole time.
To answer your question though, no one is the good guy here. It's two groups of religious zealots arguing over who's penises god finds more aesthetically pleasing, and whether to oppress women, queer people, and Muslims, or women, queer people, Jews and Christians.

Yeah sure, long-standing US imperialist ambitions in the region have nothing to do with it.
The three factions of the war god yhwh/allah/jesus have been murdering eachother for far longer than the US has been trying to enslave non-white people. So you're right, it has everything to do with US imperialism, but that stems from penis--aesthetics alignment.

It's almost as if neighbors go to war with each other.
but that stems from penis--aesthetics alignment.

If I understand correctly, Iran targets military warships and US is targeting civilian ships??? US Army (after IDF) are the most disgusting army in the world. And is not just now, alway was.
IDF, US, RUSSIA both target the same time, they have something in common as if they got thier notes from each toher.
In this case. Iran is also firing on civilian ships if they are outside Iran's approved shipping channel.
Iran are bad, everybody agrees on that. But US is acting as democracy, humanists, good when is fact (not just in Trump presidency) US are bad as Iran.
The Iranians attacked valid military targets.
The Americans did war crimes.
In case others haven't figured it out, the US and Israel have been the terrorists this whole time. Those claiming Iran is the biggest state sponsor or terrorism are projecting.
FFS, could you please not?
